Picked on the reasoning that he'll be able to force this fight into boxing range more than his opponent wants, in what the analyst calls a genuinely competitive, close fight either way.
A solid striker who counters effectively while advancing, cuts the cage off well, punishes the body, switches stances freely, works behind the jab, and strings together clean boxing combinations. He'll mix in kicks occasionally, but his identity is really pocket boxing with Muay Thai touches layered in -- a clearly different look from a pure long-range kicker. He's likely the better grappler in this matchup, though heavy grappling isn't really anticipated -- solid takedown defense, good scrambling, and he's genuinely difficult for almost anyone in the division to hold down, save for one universally recognized exception that doesn't really count against him since nobody else at this weight controls that man on the mat either.
